UNIT 2: YOUR BODY AND YOU

Lesson 4: Speaking


Activity 1: Which of the following habits are
good and which are bad for you ?
• staying up late
• leaving things until the last
minute
• being thankful √
• keeping a routine √
• watching TV all day
• doing regular exercise √
• never giving up √
• saving money √
• littering
• reading regularly √
• arriving just in time √
• eating what you like


Activity 2: Discuss why some of the habits
above are good for you and why
some are bad for you.
* Example:
“I think staying up late is not good since
it makes me feel tired the next morning .”
“I think never giving up is good because
it gives you determination and courage.”

Activity 3: Read the advice. Do you think you could follow it?
• The good thing about bad habits is you can kick them!
• Here are five tricks to get rid of bad habits and replace them with
healthy ones.
1. Make a list. Write down all your bad habits. Next, write another list
of good habits that you could swap for those naughty habits.
2. Shake up your routine. Habits are often routine-based, so changing
your daily routine slightly can sometimes be enough to rid yourself of
bad habits.
3. Pretend the habit belongs to someone else! We’re great at giving
advice but not so at taking it.
4. Surround yourself with people who’ve kicked similar habits. Hang
out with people who have already given up their bad habits. They
will inspire good habits in you.
5. Think about how you’ll feel when you kick the habits. Imagine the
benefits you will have when you get rid of the habits.
Good luck!

of Dos and Don’ts in order to kick that habit.
